Tiger Divorce: Elin gets $750M!

Moral of the story, keep it in your pants, dudes.

It's not about feeling bad, How much money does she need? That's a stupid amount. A hundred million or something like that will suffice. That is ridiculous. We need alimony reform and a cap and trade on these ho****S.

This was not done through the courts and they settled this between them self. She would not have received anything near this through the court system. TW is paying her not to talk about what happened and their relationship and that it.

Okay, cool. I get it. He don't want everybody to know he was smoking crack that night he crashed. That's the only thing worth that much to keep a secret.

The truth is more that he was trying to get away from his wife who had a golf club in her hands when he crashed. She may have knocked him silly before he ever got behind the wheel.

How much money does Tiger need?

By law, she's entitled to that money just as much as he is.

It is ridiculous. Point blank period.

You have nothing of substance to support your argument. Point blank period.

Schneed, Schneed - it's JTF, he doesn't need substance to support his arguments. Never has. Never will. It's a zen thing.

Almost like Joe Thiesman himself.

I feel very sad for the children. Think of the stories they'll read about their father's sordid activities when they are old enough. Ick. Plus presently, at such a young age, they now have to cope with a broken home. This whole fiasco is such a shame on many levels.

Thats the real story here not the money. I raised a daughter on my own and even though you and your X keep the child out of the BS it still affects them. My daughter is now 24 and we have talked about it and she tells me about how she wished she could have just spent Christmas, her birthdays, etc.. with just mom and dad. Not dad and then mom and not with them just at the same birthday party but as a family which you can never do once your parents split. People act like divorce is OK and the children will be OK but I don't think we realize the harm it does to them. My daughter lived a happy life but the living as a family part was something I could not ever fix. People need to think before they decide to bring children into the world and if they do split they need to put the children's needs above theirs but that does not happen in allot of divorces now days.

Great post.

Thank God for mom and dad for sticking through together 'cause we don't know how...

respect++ for you man.. did not know that

how young was she when you two split? my parents split before I was even born.. I guess I kind of never knew what it was supposed to be like with that.. my grandfather was my first father figure and a damn good one at that (to me anyways, I hear that he wasn't so pleasant beforehand)

my stepfather was a decent role model but is even more stubborn than you (just messing with you) and definitely had his flaws.. our relationship has grown over the years though.. more of a mutual respect for our ability to continue on and overcome adversity I guess.. I haven't talked to my mom in lord knows how long yet I still talk to him

Yeah, think of the amount of times that this happens every year with people that aren't famous though. I hate to sound shallow but they'll be taken care of one way or another, though money doesn't necessarily fill in for emotion. There are definitely children in much worse scenarios that won't have hardly any type of support. Doesn't mean that their pain doesn't matter though, it really is a shame for them.
